It's always hilarious when recruiting tactics constitute cheating/paying players/stalking recruits when it's the other guys doing it but celebrated for the home team. Bruin fans need to stop pretending they'd admonish this behavior if Mora was doing it.

Timing a trip you're already making to coincide with recruits is at worst coincidental and at best making the most of a salient opportunity. It's unlikely they were sitting near each other so it's doubtful there was any more interaction than 30 minutes at the gate before boarding and a well-wish to enjoy your recruiting trip when disembarking.

Actually, ANY interaction would be considered an in-home visit even if they said hello at check in and everything was a total coincidence.

quote:This story is insane. On one of our forums, we were told that not only was Cameron on their flight to LA, but he's booked on their return flight too. And, get this, he's staying at the W Hotel in Westwood... which is where UCLA puts up its official visitors. Mora was at LAX to pick up the recruits and their families and saw Cameron walking out with them. He was floored.

First of all how does a fricking football forum know someone's flight details? Although it sounds like a professional recruiting story I doubt it's quite that awesome.

Perhaps you haven't heard of "The Bump Rule," put into place because the University of Alabama Head Coach always seems to "bump into" recruits. NOT a violation or considered a visit anymore, but there are certain things you can and cannot do when you "Bump Into" a recruit. Still, proving a coach violated this is virtually impossible, and so what? The NCAA has lost it's bite after Miami walked free.

This does have an air of desperation to it. Although I think part of that is the reports that he is on the same return flight and he is staying at the same hotel. I seriously doubt those have any validity. So if this is a fortuitous coincidence, lucky us. But I really hope we aren't playing games like this, because it could blow up in our face.
